Identification
These three widespread eastern species are externally identical and can be identified reliably only based on dissection or DNA. The genitalia are very distinct in both males and females, so collected specimens can be readily identified by dissection. Photos should only be placed to the individual species pages if they have had their IDs confirmed by dissection or DNA.
Range
East of the Rocky Mountains
